  Log:
  Change the sub-dissector handoff registration routines so that the
  sub-dissector table is not stored in the header_field_info struct, but
  in a separate namespace. Dissector tables are now registered by name
  and not by field ID. For example:
  
          udp_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("udp.port");
  
  Because of this different namespace, dissector tables can have names
  that are not field names.  This is useful for ethertype, since multiple
  fields are "ethertypes".
  
  packet-ethertype.c replaces ethertype.c (the name was changed so that it
  would be named in the same fashion as all the filenames passed to make-reg-dotc)
  
  Although it registers no protocol or field, it registers one dissector table:
  
  	ethertype_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("ethertype");
  
  All protocols that can be called because of an ethertype field now register
  that fact with dissector_add() calls.
  
  In this way, one dissector_table services all ethertype fields
  (hf_eth_type, hf_llc_type, hf_null_etype, hf_vlan_etype)
  
  Furthermore, the code allows for names of protocols to exist in the
  etype_vals, yet a dissector for that protocol doesn't exist. The name
  of the dissector is printed in COL_INFO. You're welcome, Richard. :-)
